"It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so - I don't know, not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid, necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and - sad-making.

And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way."

-J.D. Salinger

This is a friend of mine with a beautiful voice and real talent on the guitar. Despite being a sass, you'd never know her skillz; she's a bit shy in that department. &drea. Columbus. 03/07.

Sundowner (Chris from The Lawrence Arms) @ Howards. I wanna say 04/09. A small, but amazing show...

...and just for fun:

Midwestern winters are a drag.

Today is an all-gray-lay-in-bed-listen-to-American-Football kind of day.

My awesome parents. Mom's holding a cig, Dad's holding a beer. Party on. I found and scanned this, I'm going to guess circa 1980?

Little brother Corey Capelle showing my old roommate's dog Mingah some love. Vanity House circa 2004. I think he still wears this Dead Kennedy's shirt sometimes.

Lucero cover of Jawbreaker's "Kiss The Bottle". I think I've seen Lucero 3 times now and still have yet to see this performed!

They just released a new album called "1372 Overton Park" that I have to check out. Matty? Thoughts on it?

d.kine took this on his phone, it's my busted face after having too much fun at a punk show. 04/07/2007. Man, what a babe!

Ecuadorian dreams.

It's cheap, their currency is the USD, and it's far less dangerous than other South American countries! Does anyone speak Spanish? Let's go. Seriously, I'm willing to pay half your plane ticket to translate.

We'll stay here.

This video was shown to me by my friend Dave (of course). It's the audio of a guy on acid locked in a closet. His friends recorded him talking and made a video to go with it. Comic gold!
